 How an electric kettle works
An electric kettle consists of a heating element that heats the water, a base that houses the heating
element, and a power cord that is plugged into an electrical socket. Once water is poured into the kettle,
it completes the electrical circuit, and the heating element heats up the water to the desired temperature.
The kettle then switches off automatically, and you can pour out the hot water.
